Our physicians are board-certified anesthesiologists with additional certification or course work in pain management. Traditionally, anesthesiologists are associated with the control of pain during the perioperative period. Participation in pain management beyond the confines of the hospital is a natural extension of the anesthesiologist's knowledge base and skill.
Our open-minded, multidisciplinary approach means your needs always come first — whether you need a second opinion, an evaluation, a consultation, treatment or referral to another traditional or alternative health specialist. If you have been unsuccessful at finding pain relief elsewhere, call MPM for a pain consultation. We will use all the medical tools in our arsenal to help reduce or eliminate your pain.
